Thinking about it carefully, there was indeed nothing good to give.
He would just give the Monkey Wine to the foreigners to taste.
After settling this matter.
Chen Ming turned on his phone.
He realized that the group chat had already started.
" The World Association's auction will begin in two days…"
"Tell me, what did you send over?”
"Heh, the auction hasn't started yet, so of course it's a secret.”
"This time, foreign zoos will be participating, and people from all walks of life will be there. It's a good opportunity to promote internationally.”
"If we can get the highest price, we'll really be able to show our face internationally.”
" It's not that easy. The judges are all foreigners. Even if our items are better than theirs, it'll be difficult for us to get a good ranking. What's the saying? They don't have a sense of cultural identity with us…"
They chatted casually.
Although the theme of this international auction was to protect animals and nature, it involved a wide range of topics. Not only would it attract international attention, but influential figures from all walks of life would also come.
Therefore, all the zoos were more attentive.
It could even be said that he was holding back.
Chuanshu Zoological Park: " I heard that Songshan Zoological Park has also received an invitation. Director Chen, what is your zoo going to auction?"”
"If you guys aren't revealing it, then I definitely can't reveal it either.”
"It's over. Director Chen is also starting to hide his abilities.”
"Haha, do you have a secret weapon?”
Chen Ming smiled bitterly when he saw the chat.
All of you big shots are waiting for a big move, so I just sent two bottles of wine over.
……
……
Two days later.
Shanghai Central Building.
This was the tallest building in Shanghai, where the Shisen Animal Association's art exhibition and auction would be held.
"President Andy, everyone has entered.”
"Alright, I understand."
As the president of the Shisen Animal Association and the host of this international auction, Andy, who was over fifty years old, nodded.
The auction proceeded as scheduled.
Below the venue, there were celebrities from all walks of life. They were dressed in bright clothes and had a distinct aura.
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome.”
"Today, the 32nd Peace Art Auction organized by the World Animal Association in Shanghai is about to begin. Before that, please allow me to introduce the history of the World Forest Animal Association and the meaning of its existence. Our World Forest Animal Association was founded in 1981..."
Aba, aba, the old man slowly narrated.
The celebrities below did not show any impatience on their faces. From the beginning to the end, they were all smiling.
He was very cultured and insightful.
It was as if he agreed with her.
Of course, even if he was impatient, he would not show it.
Finally, twenty minutes passed.
From the history of the World Animal Association, to the meaning of its existence, and its various contributions to the world's animal protection, he finally finished.
President Andy revealed a satisfied smile." This time, the theme of the art auction is animal protection. From now on, the auction items will be jointly sponsored by the Dragon Country, Fu Sang Country, America, Germany, and other zoo organizations..."
"Next, please enjoy our first auction item.”
A beautiful woman in a cheongsam brought up a display cabinet.
It was covered with a piece of cloth and looked a little mysterious.
The celebrities below showed expressions of interest.
They came here for this.
The auction was organized by the World Animal Association. Anything that was auctioned at a high price could be taken away as a souvenir.
One had to know.
Many special works of art could be said to be priceless because trading had long been banned in the Dragon Country.
However, the theme of this auction was charity. Therefore, they could show their love and enrich their collections.
The cloth on the display case was lifted.
It was actually a pure white elephant tusk that was emitting a lustrous glow under the light.
"To ensure the fairness of the auction, all the auction items will be appraised on the spot.”
The display case was pushed to the judges 'table. A few foreign old men appraised it separately and finally came up with the results.
"This is an auction item sent from the zoo of Fu Sang Country. It has been identified as the ivory of the long-extinct Syria elephant. This elephant species was once a famous war elephant species. It was extinct due to war before 70 AD. This ivory has great research value for ancient wars.”
Whoosh!
The audience was in an uproar.
It was actually such precious ivory.
One had to know that ivory was strictly prohibited from being traded in the Dragon Country in any form. Was Fu Sang Country openly challenging the laws of the Dragon Country?
"This ivory has been placed in the Animal Memorial Hall of Fu Sang Country for more than 30 years. This auction is for the right to engrave the ivory. The person who bids the highest can engrave his name at the bottom of the ivory and send it back to the Animal Memorial Hall of Fu Sang Country for further exhibition.”
Good heavens.
After all this time, it turned out to be the engraving rights. This Fusang zoo really knew how to cause trouble.
But even so, it was still quite attractive.
"150,000."
Someone made a bid.
"Three hundred thousand…"
"Seven hundred thousand…"
They took turns to bid.
In the end, he didn't buy the whole elephant tusk. He sold the carving rights for 1.1 million.
Another auction item was presented.
Inside the glass display case was a plant.
The judges did some research.
" This is an auction item from the Dragon Country's Imperial City's zoo. This plant is the seedling of a silver fir. It is a rare tree species unique to the Dragon Country. It is an ancient species that is almost extinct. It is called the 'Giant Panda of the Plant World' by botanists. Whether it is ornamental value or practical value, it is extremely high.”
Damn it!
Everyone below was shocked!
The Beijing zoo even took out this.
"One million!"
"1.5 million!"
"3.5 million!"
The auction price went all the way to four million.
In the early decades, the regulations of the Dragon Country were not so strict. There were still people who cut down silver firs to make furniture. Up to now, it was almost impossible for silver firs to appear in the trading market.
It was already a great thing to be able to sell a seedling.
In the end, the silver cedar seedling was sold for 4.6 million.
A few minutes later.
The third auction item was presented.
Inside the glass display case, he opened it.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Inside was a lifelike giant panda.
“？？？”
"What's going on?"
"This doesn't seem to be a living panda, right?”
"Wait, is this a panda specimen?"
"It's impossible for the Dragon Country to auction such a thing!!”
Everyone was completely shocked!
The judges couldn't sit still either.
He stepped forward to appraise it and heaved a sigh of relief.
"This is an auction item from the Dragon Country's Chuanshu zoo. It's a special craft. This item is handmade. It's made by collecting the hair of a giant panda and using a needle to make a giant panda figurine..."
